God’s Deeds laid out in the old Testament provide us with a foundation to know God is mighty, God keeps His promises, and God disciplines and forgives His people. Praise God, His Love Endures Forever. Thank you God for giving us these detailed explanations of what you did in the past because it reassures us that you are the same today.
But moving forward.
Thank you God for the New Testament which shows us just how much you loved us.
Jesus left heaven where the angels worshiped and obeyed his every command. He left heaven for one purpose. He left heaven to seek those who were lost.
Through Jesus the whole world was created. Yet he came to earth in the form of a baby subject to parents and other adults. He followed the rules and studied with the Rabbis. Jesus played and worked and lived in the world he created. Then at the appropriate time, he taught us what it meant to live as one with Him, with the Father.
I am thankful he cared enough to step down out of heaven for my sake; for your sake. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have ever lasting life.
Thank you God for coming to show us the way, coming to be our sacrifice, coming to create a bridge where we can be one with You,
Thank you: the baby in the manger, the great teacher, the passover lamb, the risen savior, the Holy Spirit
John 1
King James Version (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
